Geeks are superior to all other people because the have the knowledge and social ability to get to where they want to be.

geek, pick on them and youll regret it for the rest of your life"
I like Urban Dictionary. That definition sounds just right, and fits me.
I'm not very social with mainstream people, but that's just because I haven't tried it much. I mostly hang with other geeks because non-geeks just aren't interesting. Geeks can be interested in anything, every geek has a different set of interests and they explore their interests deeply. Why would you want to hang out with someone who only has shallow knowledge in the same subjects as 80% of the population?
